Hadith Narrator: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Qais bin Muslim radi Allahu anhu is more well-known by his kunyah, Abu Musa Ash’ari. During the Battle of Khaybar, he came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as part of a delegation, and thereafter remained with him and participated in jihad. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sent him, along with Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal radi Allahu anhu, as governor to Yemen. Later, during the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar radi Allahu anhu, he was appointed as the governor of Kufa. After the Battle of Siffin, he served as an arbitrator and judge between Sayyiduna Ali radi Allahu anhu and Sayyiduna Mu’awiyah radi Allahu anhu. Allah Ta’ala had granted him a very melodious voice. He was an excellent reciter of the Qur’an. He passed away at the age of 63, either in Makkah or Kufa.
